13 Pics That Prove Katy Perry's Style Evolution Is a Hot Topic of Conversation

Katy Perry never fails to surprise Us with her style and beauty choices! It's hard to decide what's changed more over the years: the 35-year-old's fashion game or her hair color. [ami-related id="1833229" url="https://www.usmagazine.com/stylish/pictures/most-dramatic-celebrity-hair-changes-of-all-time-pics/" title="Why 9 Celebs Debuted Major Hair Transformations Over the Years" target="_blank" thumb="false" imgsrc="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Most-Dramatic-Hair-Changes-of-All-Time-Slide-4.jpg" imgid="1833704" format="gallery" flag="" channel="33"] While the American Idol judge started her career as a gospel singer under her given name Katy Hudson, she quickly transformed into a pop icon with a wardrobe of statement-making looks to match. Sure, we know Perry’s on-stage ensembles have been all kind of creative over the years (whipped cream-squirting cone bra, anyone?), but her red carpet style is equally unique. From pinup to Old Hollywood glam, high-fashion to camp, the “Teenage Dream” songstress has fun with fashion, and we love her for it. Oh, and then there are those ever changing hair styles and colors!
